When was Alpha Beta created?

Alpha Beta grocery stores was founded in 1917 in Pomona, California by Albert and Hugh Gerrard.


Why is gamma radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?

Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.


What are the responses of alpha beta and gamma radiation in an electric field?

If this is an electric feild that goes in towards the page: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X the alpha particle will move upwards as it is a helium nuclei (and therefore is overly positive) the beta particle is an emited electron and therfore will move downwards. Gamma Rays are a form of an electromagnetic wave that is released when a newly decayed atom goes from a excited state to a de-excited state. As it is a form of radiation, gamma rays do not have a charge and therefore move straight through the feild.


In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?

true


What are the masses of alpha beta gamma?

The alpha particle basically has the mass of a helium atom, since it is a helium nucleus. The beta particle has the mass of an electron - a beta particle is either an electron or an anti-electron. The gamma ray has no rest mass, since it moves at the speed of light. However, it can have a fairly high energy, and therefore an associated mass. The mass varies in this case; that is, gamma rays can have different energies, and therefore different masses.
